SIGN PAINTERS (OFFICIAL TRAILER) from samuel j macon on Vimeo.

--------------------

“Sign Painters,” which has been put together with equal parts affection and skill by directors Faythe Levine and Sam Macon, is fresh and passionate and unexpected.
-Mark Feeney, Boston Globe

"The documentary accomplishes what many films that consist of mostly talking heads do not. Through the individual stories, a larger narrative surfaces about this art form and its fate over time. In many ways, it is more than that. It is a cautionary tale about the head-long rush into a technology-driven time and a meditation on what’s lost along the way. It is a reminder to look around and recognize the physical history in our presence every day."
-Mary Louise Schumacher, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
